Every interest in the country appears
to be combined against agriculture. We
have syndicates to control the prices OF
everything the farmer is compelled to
buy, while he is utterly unable to con-
troll the prices Of what he is compelled
to sell. His selling prices are deter
mined by those of the markets OF the
world. His buying prices are deter
mined by oomblnRticns OF manufac
turers and merchants. Woonsoetet Plain.

While this is ell true, it applies
no more to the farmers than to other
people in regions remote from The great
commercial centers. All suffer alike
from combinations, with the exception
that the farmer is more independent
than the representative Of other classes.
He can, il necessity compels him, live
from the yield OF his own acres, while
men engaged in other branches Of
business must yield to the enormities
imposed by combinations, or starve or
freeze. Unlike the farmer, he has no
resources of his own against dire neoes-
sity. While the abuses of which the
Plaindealer treats are serious ones 70

making common war upon the balance
